main burner by air currents.
After the Water Heater has been out of use
for a long time make sure that you fill the
condensate trap with water.
This is to prevent dangerous exhaust gases
from entering the building.
Failure to fill the condensate trap could result
in severe personal injury or death.
(Refer to page 14 for further instructions.)
DANGER
Hot Water Heater temperatures over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalding.
Children, disabled and elderly are at the highest
risk of being scalded.
Feel water temperature
before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves
are available, consult with
installer.
Do not use the Water Heater if the intake/
exhaust pipe is displaced, has holes, is clogged
or is corroded.
This will cause carbon monoxide poisoning
and a potential fire hazard.
Do not allow anyone to change the water
temperature while hot water is being used.
To prevent scalding, do not change the water
temperature to a higher setting.
[When supplying combustion air from the
indoors]
Check whether or not the air supply vent is
blocked with dust, trash, a towel, or the like.
Blocking the opening may result in incomplete
combustion.
